I just read about this while doing research on what i hope to be my next car (06 Evo MR).

Evom

"Diverter Valve/ Blow Off Valve (DV/BOV):

Do yourself a favor; kill the ricer within you now. Evos do not respond well to BOVs. Especially if they vent 100% atmospherically. The stock IX diverter valve (aka JDM MR diverter valve) is a very capable and inexpensive solution. The IX diverter is metal and can handle 25 psi without any issue. You will experience very limited, if any drive ability issues. Partial throttle situations will be manageable and not violent.

- If you have an VIII, do yourself a favor and get a IX diverter valve.
- Don't be a ricer, unless you have an aftermarket ecu then stick with a recirculated diverter.
- Aftermarket diverters tend to have partial throttle issues and will never be as daily driving friendly as the stock IX diverter."

That discussion revolves around those with a factory ECU. Once you go aftermarket the issue described in that thread is no longer applicable. Also, there is the potential for more power with VTA BOV vs. a recirculating BOV.

sorry guess i should have clarified, i didn't mean that the post from Evom pertained to your set-up, only that maybe that's what the person in the other thread was referring to.

EDIT: Question about e-85 is this readily available in Ca.? i don't think you can get in Va, unless you have access to a military base.

Its all good!

E-85 is pretty accessible in most parts of Cali. When my wife and I used to live in the San Diego area, there was a place that sold it and they were within 10 minutes of our house. There is a station in our area that is in the process of getting an E-85 pump. It should be ready anytime now and they are within 15 minutes of our house.

Justin,
Not sure if I was the first to welcome you, but I was one of them.

I remember removing your CDV in your garage, meeting your wife, talking over your civic and picking your ass up off the floor new years eve... lol.... good times...

Just another chapter...

I've since moved on also. I gave my S away and have been stationed overseas. I'll be back next year with my eye on a few new cars..
